ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3050 Non OC 6GB NVIDIA Graphic Card

The ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3050 Non OC 6GB is a compact, power-efficient discrete graphics card built on NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture. It is aimed at users who want hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI-powered features in a form factor that fits virtually any desktop chassis without requiring an external power connector. At the heart of this card are 2304 CUDA cores organised across Ampere streaming multiprocessors. The second-generation RT Cores enable real-time ray-traced lighting, shadows, and reflections in supported titles, while the third-generation Tensor Cores power DLSS and other AI-based workloads. The 6 GB GDDR6 frame buffer runs on a 96-bit memory bus at 14 Gbps effective bandwidth, providing a solid foundation for 1080p gaming and light creative tasks. The card draws just 70 W from the PCIe slot alone — no supplementary power connector is required — making it an excellent upgrade option for pre-built systems with modest power supplies. ZOTAC specifies a 450 W system PSU as the recommended minimum. The dual-slot cooler pairs a single 90 mm fan with a dedicated heatsink to manage thermals within the compact 150.8 mm × 115.1 mm × 39.2 mm footprint. Connectivity is generous for a card in this class. Four simultaneous display outputs are supported: three DisplayPort 1.4a ports capable of up to 7680×4320 at 60 Hz, and one HDMI 2.1 port supporting 4K at 120 Hz HDR and 8K at 60 Hz HDR with Variable Refresh Rate. HDCP 2.3 is included for protected content playback. The interface is PCI Express 4.0 ×8, backward-compatible with PCIe 3.0 motherboards. DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 are supported, enabling access to hardware-accelerated ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading under Windows 11, Windows 10 (1809 or later), and Windows 7 64-bit. ZOTAC’s FireStorm utility provides monitoring and tuning controls, and NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience application handles driver updates, game-settings optimisation via the one-click overlay, ShadowPlay game capture, and RTX Video Super Resolution for browser-based video upscaling.
